ternetziand the new speciesN.
christinae. The snout is constricted, narrowly
compressed (gape very small); dorsal profile concave between
tip of snout and posterior nares. Aquarium Care:
Best kept in groups as they will not do well singularly. Avoid
boisterous or aggressive tankmates as this is a shy species
that will hide out during the day and appear for food at night
under darkness. Provide a dimly lit tank with floating plants.
This is not an easy species to keep so you would need to keep
up water changes and good aquarium husbandry. Diet:
Tubifex, Daphnia, Cyclops. Once settled in
they will take frozen foods, flake and tablet foods.
